My wife and I stayed at the Crescent Court on February 1, 2008. The hotel is located in the Uptown Arts District. We had dinner at Nobu, a Japanese restaurant located within the hotel. At Nobu, we recommend the Omasake “chef’s tasting menu”. At $95 per person, we enjoyed 9 courses, each presented with a description on the chef’s preparation. If Japanese cuisine is not to your liking, then located adjacent to the hotel is The Capital Grille. Across the street are Truluck’s Seafood restaurant and Bice, an Italian restaurant. There’s a Starbucks located in the corner of the Crescent Court. Within a mile or so is Rosewood’s famous Mansion on Turtle Creek and the new Ritz-Carlton with Dean Ferring’s signature restaurant, voted best new restaurant of 2007 by Esquire Magazine.
We had booked a standard guest room, #445, at $320/night. Parking was additional at $20/night. When we pulled up to the Crescent valets attacked the car, check-in was a snap, and bellman were right there to wisk us up to our guest room. Although a small guest room, it was nicely appointed, similar to The Mansion on Turtle Creek, and as nice as many Four Seasons or Ritz-Carltons.
My wife said the spa was great. She had a Swedish massage and a facial and said the therapists were outstanding. LaGina was her massage therapist, and only works on Saturdays. She’s been at the Crescent for 8 years. My wife recommends that you request LaGina if you are there on a Saturday.
We live in the area, about 45 minutes away, so we like to get away to Dallas every now and then. We’ve stayed at The Mansion, The Adolphus with dinner in the French Room, and the Crescent Court. We’ve had dinner at Dean Ferring’s, and perhaps we’ll return for a stay at the Ritz-Carlton and another dinner at Ferring’s. I recommend that you compare pricing between the Mansion, Ritz-Carlton and the Crescent Court. They are all very nice.
